Orius Helion

Orius Ursun Helion is the patriarch of House Helion. He appears to be the one most in opposition to Aiden Severin's reclamation of the ducal throne

Appearance
Based on the one meeting that the party has had with Orius, he appears to present himself as a military man. He wears highly ornate armor that is layered with sun iconography. He also appears to be the oldest member, as he is in his early fifties.

History
Orsus Helion has been the patriarch of his house for two decades, having won the right to rule from his twin brother. Current rumor persists that the entire affair rested on a coin toss, but it is one that Orsus readily disputes. His twin brother, meanwhile, left Forthring with little fanfare and little is known about him.

For his tenure as patriarch, Orius is a cunning and shrewd leader who has tended to be aggressive in the affairs in the city. Most of the guards in the city have once been in his employ and the citizenry understand that means he holds great favor amongst them. He is the primary force behind the conflict regarding the ducal succession, resisting heavily the idea that a bastard can come into power.

Noumenon's Notes
Orius is a conniving bastard. He will not hesitate to use whoever he needs to in order to get what he wants. What makes him brilliant is the fact that he always follows through with his promises whenever he contracts for a job. The only downside is that he will always attempt to be a step ahead, always keeping some sort of favor that he can call in at another time.

Personal Recommendation: If ever forced to deal with him, try to get into a position where only one deal is made. Follow his requests to the letter to keep from owing him anything, and you'll walk out with your reward and no chains.
